1. FOSTA won't cause rates to go higher. Just the opposite. Already from the MassuerFinder shirt rule I'm getting messages from friends that their income is halved. (And that's even though a lot of other masseurs have dropped off MF). They will take what they can get now.
2. The "high price" guys are pretentious in person too and it ruins the sex. They're just cutting their own throats financially by having too high a rate. Seldom lasts. Those that do last have their own peculiar reasons to want few clients. My BelAmi friends tell me they make more money at $350 than at $500 by far.
3. Even if FOSTA does lead to most porn disappearing, most voters won't mind. Family types usually hate porn. Now if teenage boys were a sizeable portion of the electorate we might have outrage. But porn, much less escorting, is a very tiny sliver of the electorate. Now if FOSTA were to take down Wikipedia or Reddit or Instagram or Twitter there would be some backlash.
